The words 'comma', 'llama', 'panorama', and 'pajama' all share the same final stressed '-ama' sound /ɑːmə/ (in American English), similar to 'drama'. However, note that 'pajama' may also be pronounced with /æ/ in some dialects. Spelling-wise, all end with 'ama', but 'drama' has an initial 'dr' cluster.
